Re: Request for Volunteers – Pakistan Faculty Professional Development

Following a request from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan, CAUT has entered into a partnership to assist with the design and delivery of a faculty professional development program. The first stage of this initiative will focus on the creation of an instructional/pedagogical workshop and training program for academic staff in Pakistan. CAUT is seeking your assistance in identifying and recruiting volunteers for this project.

The faculty professional development program is intended to assist academic staff in Pakistan to: improve their pedagogical skills and competences; understand and put into practice key teaching and learning theories and concepts; facilitate the use of digital technologies where appropriate; develop course content; plan and deliver lessons; understand and implement fair assessments of student performance; and promote understanding of academic freedom and professional responsibilities.

CAUT volunteers will be asked to work with the Commission in designing and delivering workshops in Pakistan and in Canada. All travel and accommodation costs will be covered. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer honoraria.

Those wishing to volunteer with this project are asked to submit a statement of interest to the attention of the CAUT Executive Director ([email protected]) by January 25, 2019. The statement should indicate any expertise or experience with pedagogical training. Please note that the working language of the project will be English.
